That’s because it’s almost new, only got the electrics signed off last week, eventually when I get used to having it I’ll stop cleaning it every other day

Interesting, I had the same one off experience with a Milwaukee blade on a workzone, bandsaw, truly awful from the kickoff, the clunk on the joint was terrible, but it was also a clearly poor joint, which the TS ones are not.
I will give them a test and feedback. The fitted one to this Femi is fine just wearing so smoothness and throwing teeth will be a good comparison
Did you let TS know?

Got these Knipex circlip pliers from Amazon last week, had them in my wish list since @Brad93 posted about them, they were 130 odd quid, but for some reason they got reduced by 40% on the day I happened to look at my list, so I bagged them for under 80. Took a while to come as there was some delay getting from Europe but they're the usual Knipex excellent quality.

Seconded. Use them at work now as well as for myself
Really decent quality, especially considering they are cheap.I actually had a tour around their blade making/sharpening shop the other week! Not exciting, but nice to see their operation.

Got myself a proper score today, possibly the best skip find I will ever have!.
One old and dirty (but absolutely perfect otherwise) Snap-on top box
One mid box? that fits under the top box
Best part is it is full of stuff mostly sockets and spanners a lot of it is snap-on and the rest is a hodge podge of britool, kamasa and draper.
There is one particularly strange socket in there, big (didn't have time to measure but probably around 2") that reduces down a 1/2" drive. For the size of it I would have expected at least 3/4"??
When I parked up at work after lunch I also noticed a rather satisfying mileage

Membership of a working men's club. Its unusual in being in the middle of nowhere and run completely by volunteers. It only sells decent ale and is next to a river, ideal as a walking destination over the moors.
From home it's about 8 miles, or 9 going the extra scenic route, so a 3 hour walk, so you burn off the calories before you put them back on, all part of the beer diet

You have to wait a long time but they do come along eventually.

Blown turbos and Gearbox problems are all to common.
And whoever thought putting the brake bleed nipples in the middle of the brake caliper needs shooting!

Plus the calipers seize on the pins. Break disc at the rear contains the bearing's.
Heaters matrix leak.
Plus the central locking goes wonky.

At that price if it's got an MOT, it's verging on disposable, if you get a year out of it minimum.

It had a huge egg shaped dent in the roof, they removed the strapped down cement mixer from the roof while he was viewing
He moved it on for a small van and got the same money back
